Named Computers

currently I'm on Wuzza. My other comps are QuietHealer, and Tuxedo.

QuietHealer only puts out 2 dB, so the name fits
Tuxedo is Linux, so it fits.
No idea how Wuzza came about... I let my brother name it.

Our team has named all our computers. There was Garfield, Taz, Dilbert, Brain, and now Dexter.

I'm afraid I'm like Kyle, I only call my computers names when they aren't working right. But if you really want to know what they are, I can post them on -www.curselikeasailor.grr.

Put I think I'll start calling my computer "Snoogy Woogy" just to be odd.

I don't know if graphing calculators count, but I named my TI-84 plus 'Hal 9000'. I don't really have any other names for any of the computers at my home, except when they decide to not coorperate. BTW, never let a computer know that you're in a hurry. Because once you do, they seem to do everything imaginable to make life even more difficult.

The computer that while not technically owned by me, no else uses but me is named Cecile in honor of my friends wicked cool guitar. Plus Cecile is just an awesome name.

My Desktop: Philip
My current laptop: Shorty
My old laptop: Fatty

Shorty because it looked short (widescreen), Fatty because it was fat and used FAT32, Philip is a Goats reference, best as I can remember.

Laptop = Lappy..

Who needs interesting names as long as people know what you are talking about when you tell them to hand you lappy.

:sigh: As for the team, our 2 new laptops are named Bill & Ted.

An old Gateway 2000 that I was using for about 3 months, that's now trashed except for the box, was simply called R.A.G. or Rotten Apple G 0.33333 (complete with name 'sharpied' on side and logo of a rotten apple).

My old laptop, when its screen became no longer functional, the primary hardware was ripped out, and then put into a shoe box, was named C.R.A.P. or Cripppled Rotten Apple Pod (no G number of any sort was assigned, nor was there a logo for it).

Now, I have a newer Gateway and a slightly newer laptop. None of them have a name, but I would like to give them one. I'll have to think about it.

Aww, I totally thought it was a StrongBad reference. You should go with that.

I do not get to name my computer at work since it's on a corporate LAN and they'd probably be upset if I broke something. Our servers have pretty cool names, though, including Mystery Machine, Cobain, Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin. Those are all internal machines, as best as I can tell. Externally, our customers' data resides on machines named after elements of the periodic table.

At home, our LAN computers use "kaiju" names -- Godzilla, Mothra, Orga and King Ghidorah, if I recall correctly. The laptop I use every day is Microsoft Asset # such and such.

I'm pretty sure my XBox has a name, too, but I have no idea how to get to it without plugging it into a LAN with another XBox.
